Symbolic and beautiful

el debbo

10/24/15

Even with the sound off, you have a beautiful Pressburger spectacle of a movie. The story interested me and seemed to symbolize Pagan people of the Old Faith, you know, Green Man types...versus British Christian conservatives in the 1800's. Jennifer Jones is a gypsy pagan who reads symbols in the sky or nature and knows what to do. Even her name in the move is symbolic, 'Hazel Woodus Marston', hazel wood...sacred to pagans. She is seduced by the lust and wealth of the local squire and he corners her as surely as he'd corner an innocent fox. This works for awhile, but eventually their values beliefs will clash, and there lies the denouement. Not a great one, but lovely to behold in many parts. 3 stars.
